Paying Us

Overview

It's easy to make a payment to Horowhenua District Council with a range of options available for applications, rates, water, debtor accounts (invoices) and infringements (fines).

A full list of our current fees and charges can be viewed on our Fees and Charges section.

Direct Debit for Rates and Water (preferred)

Direct Debit is our preferred payment method for Rates and Water (Waterbilling), with fortnightly, monthly, quarterly and on instalment due date direct debits available.

Direct debits save time and the risk of late payment fees as they're run by Council. There are no fees for this service.

You'll receive confirmation once the direct debit is set up, detailing the first payment date for your direct debit.

For rates, each year the direct debit will be recalculated to take into account the new rates.

You can cancel a direct debit authority at any time by contacting Council within five (5) business days of a scheduled payment.

Credit / Debit Card or POLi for Rates

You can pay your rates by Visa or MasterCard credit card or debit card, or by POLi. To make a payment using this method please visit our Rates Payments Online page. No additional fees are charged to payees for this service.

Internet Banking, Automatic Payments or Phone Banking

You can pay your rates, water, debtor accounts (invoices) and infringements (fines) by internet or telephone banking. You can also set up an automatic payment at a frequency that suits you, however if there's still money owing when you receive your invoice you'll need to pay the balance.

Make sure you enter Council's account details correctly, as follows:

• Account name: Horowhenua District Council
• Bank: BNZ
• Account number: 02-0668-0070607-02

Note: You'll need to set up a separate payment for each account you hold to make sure your payment is credited to the correct account.

If you've made an application, no action will be taken on this until payment has been receipted by Council and matched to your application. We recommend you email details of your online payment to us to speed up this process.
